Manchester United's 4-4 draw with Bournemouth was a rare scoreline for the Reds.
We had shared eight goals in a game on 10 occasions prior to the pulsating, see-saw clash with the Cherries at Old Trafford.
Only once has it happened in a Premier League game involving United, the disappointing home draw with Everton in 2012 that helped tip the title balance in neighbours City's favour.
Sir Alex Ferguson's team led 4-2 but late goals by Nikica Jelavic and Steven Pienaar nabbed an unlikely point for the Merseysiders.
Our first 4-4 thriller was in the very early days, as Newton Heath, as Blackburn Rovers provided the opposition for a home game at North Road in November 1892.
Old Trafford staged an eight-goal extravaganza on the final day of the 1930/31 campaign, with Thomas Reid scoring twice but George Camsell bagging all four for visitors Middlesbrough.
In terms of post-War games, Huddersfield Town played us at Maine Road, due to bomb damage at our home, and, this time, Jack Rowley was a four-goal hero against the Terriers.
The second fixture of the 1953/54 term saw Rowley on the scoresheet again but Tommy Taylor hit a late equaliser to earn a point from an entertaining encounter with Liverpool at Anfield.
A coupe of years later, a game away to our next opponents, Aston Villa, finished all square after a glut of goals, as David Pegg hit a brace against the Midlanders, after Jackie Blanchflower and Colin Webster had found the net.
In January 1959, Bobby Charlton converted a penalty in a 4-4 home draw with Newcastle United and, in the following year, the Reds legend opened the scoring again as the same scoreline was recorded away to Fulham, with Albert Quixall claiming a brace.
A decade passed until our next 4-4 thriller, at Derby County's Baseball Ground. Denis Law hit a double, George Best netted and Brian Kidd was also on the mark in a classic clash entertaining the crowd on Boxing Day.
In Division Two, we shared eight goals with Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough in December 1974, with Lou Macari scoring twice. There was a long gap then, until the Everton game in 2012.
It is worth pointing out we have had two 5-5 draws in our history, way back in 1895 against Lincoln City and the very last game of Sir Alex Ferguson's tenure, at West Brom in 2013.
